More Americans flee US consulate in China as mysterious sonic sickness linked to Cuba illness spread

More US citizens have been evacuated from a US consulate in Guangzhou, China, after suffering what appears to be the same strange, sound-related illness that befell Cuba consulate workers in 2016, it emerged on Wednesday.

Consulate worker Mark Lenzi and his wife heard strange noises over the course of several months before falling ill with what they described as neurological symptoms, ﻿The New York Timesreported.

On Wednesday night they were flown to the US with their children, including a three-year-old boy who was also affected.

Speaking to ﻿The Washington Post that same day, Lenzi described the sound as being like “marbles bouncing and hitting a floor then rolling on an incline with a static sound”.
